HOUSTON, When four astronauts strap into NASA’s Orion spacecraft for the first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years, their safety will depend not just on the vehicle but on a layered network of engineers,

As the four astronauts on the Artemis II mission approach the moon for a lunar flyby, they are seeing sights never before seen by human eyes, along with spectacular views of the Earth.

One image highlighting the moon even captured a portion of the Orientale basin, which marks a first for human eyes, according to NASA.
